ONENOTE: Sorting Pages by Title

ONENOTE, a Microsoft office utility, has several versions.   One is a "program" in Microsoft Office, one is an "app" built into Windows 10, and then there's the version (whatever it is) inside Office 365.

Whatever version I had, you could always easily sort pages within a folder.  

I would sometimes number many pages with a key number (1, 2, 3) and then follow the key number by a topic of that page.   The point being to sort by key number = sort by page title.  There might be five pages starting page title with 1, ten pages starting with 2, etc.  

Last month, I somehow got into a version or update of ONENOTE that didn't have the page sort function anymore.  Mess.   

Message boards often said, "You can't alphabetize pages in ONENOTE" - which wasn't my experience up until the last couple weeks.   

However, there is a macro plug in called ONETASTIC which at least in some versions seems to be free.  Net-net, I was able to download and install a plug-in that gives me a SORT PAGES function as a Macro inside ONENOTE.

HOW IT FUNCTIONS

So now, I can go to the HOME command tab and on the right I will see MACROS including SORT A-Z.
